Game Recap: Softball |
Panthers’ starting pitcher Jewelie Vanderkous limits Pittsburgh to three hits and one run over six innings
MIAMI – FIU sophom*ore Isabella Perez ripped a single up the middle in the bottom of the fifth that scored Kally Meredith with the eventual winning run in a 3-1 victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday afternoon.
The win marked the second straight for the Panthers and their first over an ACC opponent since defeating Syracuse in 2020.
Lansdell got the scoring started with a solo blast to left after three and a half scoreless innings to open the contest. The homer run marked her second in the last two games and her fourth over the previous seven games.
Pittsburgh (8-15) answered with a solo shot of its own to lead off the top of the fifth by Kylie Griggs, to tie the score at 1-1.
FIU's Casey Goguts added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth with a two-out single that plated Zamya McBurrows, to extend the lead to 3-1.
Panthers' starting pitcher Jewelie Vanderkous (2-2) notched the win after holding Pittsburgh to just one run and three hits over six innings. Junior Alina Varga closed it out with a shutout frame in the seventh.
